Cultural Interface
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-06)Architecture can be seen as humankind’s original canvas, a primary means of cultural expression and the total, sovereign art form. Public architecture and urban public spaces, in particular, are meant to be theaters for ... -
Curating Architecture
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-06)The number and profile of exhibitions centred on architecture has increased dramatically in the past decade. Curating architecture can now be seen as a distinct field. In the current practice, architectural curation has ... -
Curation: Representation in the Reclamation of Sudbury, Ontario Landscapes
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-22)An operating mine can last as many as several decades, though individual projects have an average lifespan between 15 and 20 years. (1) This is a relatively short amount of time, and may result in the misconception that ... -
Curdlan 1,3-Beta-Glucans: A New Platform for Polymer Drug Delivery
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-25)1,3-β-glucans are a class of natural polysaccharides with unique pharmacological properties and the ability to form triple helical structures and resilient gels. Curdlan and other 1,3-β-glucans have found application ... -
Cure and Conductivity: Investigation of Thermal Processing of Silver Nanobelt - Epoxy Composites
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-28)Electrically conductive adhesive (ECA) composites based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A / triethylenetetramine (DGEBA/TETA) epoxy, including a hybrid nanocomposite containing newly developed silver nanobelts, have been ... -
Cured-in-Place Pipe Pressure Liner Experimental Study
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-06)Long-term mechanical properties are critical parameters for the design and performance of thermoset Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) gravity and pressure liners. These liners have been used extensively across North America; ... -
Curioscape: A Curiosity-driven Escape Room Board Game
(CHI PLAY '20: The Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play, 2020-11-02)Are you frustrated when a board game has too many rules? Do you want to jump straight into the game and just play? We created Curioscape, an escape room board game that focuses on the idea of whether eliminating a rule ... -
Curiosity-Based Learning Algorithm for Interactive Art Sculptures
(University of Waterloo, 2016-02-19)This thesis is part of the research activities of the Living Architecture System Group (LASG). Combining techniques in architecture, the arts, electronics, and software, LASG develops interactive art sculptures that engage ... -
Current and Temperature Distributions in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell
(University of Waterloo, 2012-06-21)Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a potential alternative energy conversion device for stationary and automotive applications. Wide commercialization of PEMFC depends on progress that can be achieved to enhance ... -
Current Contour Based Design Methodology for IMN Design of Doherty Power Amplifiers
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-16)Carrier aggregation (CA) is used in modern communication schemes to increase com- munication bandwidth (BW) and reduce redundant equipment. This combined with the already high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) signals in ... -
Current Programmed Active Pixel Sensors for Large Area Diagnostic X-ray Imaging
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-02)Rapid progress over the last decade on large area thin film transistor (TFT) arrays led to the emergence of high-performance, low-power, low-cost active matrix flat panel imagers. Despite the shortcomings associated with ... -
Cutting Mechanics of the Gear Shaping Process
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-12)In the machining industry, there is a constant need to increase productivity while also maintaining dimensional tolerances and good surface quality. For many classical machining operations (e.g. milling, turning, and ... -
Cutting-Plane Separation Strategies for Semidefinite Programming Models to Solve Single-Row Facility Layout Problems
(University of Waterloo, 2008-10-27)The single-row facility layout problem (SRFLP) is concerned with finding the optimal linear placement of n departments with different lengths in a straight line. It is typically achieved by minimizing the cost associated ... -
